<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 2985720, member: 74624&quot;]I like your comments in general about your experience with local shows.&nbsp; When I lived in Oklahoma I tried to go to some of the regular shows when I could.&nbsp; I found that the smaller shows attracted the same dealers and from year to year the inventory didn&#039;t change much at all which usually resulted in me going home empty handed.&nbsp; I also noticed a certain dealer passing cleaned SLQs as gem BU.&nbsp; His display probably had at least 100 coins and I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if all were dipped.&nbsp; I noticed a number of people buying coins from him.&nbsp; To be fair to the dealers, they bring selected coins from their inventory so if you need something that isn&#039;t there, ask.&nbsp; They may have one back home.&nbsp; However, if they do have one, expect to pay a premium for it.&nbsp; As an example, a local dealer has a nice slabbed MS65 1879 3CN that I&#039;d be interested in.&nbsp; However, the price he wants is similar to recent online auction prices for MS66 examples.&nbsp; I can understand those like Kurt who don&#039;t like doing business on the internet.&nbsp; However, my experiences have shown that the internet opens up a market that otherwise would be unavailable.&nbsp; Of course, buyer beware.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
